future jobs

Heavy machine operator
You need at least a high school diploma or further whatever one you want. You also need at least 3.5 months of training on smaller and lighter equipment before you can go up to the heavier machines. Mechanical training is a major asset of this job. If they don’t want training you have to take a 3 year apprentice programs.
In state school programs,
Construction technology and automotive technology all thought the 4 years. And you with have to be good I certain subjects, math and gym for your fitness. It doesn’t list any in state school though.
How long for necessary training?
For hands on heavy equipment you need to take a three year class with hands on practice with certain machines and in your second and third year you just use light machines with experienced supervision. If you just want to do light construction you need 2 months hand on training with experienced training.
How much does it cost for training?
I couldn’t find the amount of money it costs to take the training but I would guess around 200-300 dollars.

Automobile assembler

What will I be doing?
I will be taking apart the parts of a car and then I will either be replacing them or putting them back together. I could also be part of an assembly line each person puts a part on as it moves done the line.
How much money I will make?
I will be earning 23 dollars an hour and 48,000 a year or more depending on how many hours I work per week.
A day in the life of a machine operator, He goes to the office early and then he is told what job or training session he is going to. After that he goes to the truck assigned and heads out to the job. When there he goes to his trainer and is assigned to a certain machine if he knows how to use it he is let alone if not he will need about 15-20 minutes of instruction. After the job is done he goes back to the office and turns his truck in then he is done.
A day in the life of an auto assembler, He goes to his work and goes to the certain station that he I assigned to work that day when the chain starts moving he puts his parts on and then he keeps repeating the same thing over and over until the day is over.

Reflections
Machine Operator, I think that I would like being a machine operator or road construction crew because I get to be outside and active which I love doing both and I get to stay in shape year round. I think that is the right job for me not only because my family has a history of construction but I love driving and lifting heavy things.
Auto Assembler, I don’t think that this is the best fit for me because, I don’t like doing the same thing over and over again I like being outside to, it doesn’t feel so good to me.

I think that these two jobs are a good match for me because all of my cousins work in construction and I have always thought that it would be something I would be interested in. I can handle working in hot or cold conditions and if it brings in good money why not do it. My mom always say that construction people make some of the best money, I like working with machines and I’m pretty good at fixing some things with the right training I can be good at this.
I don’t know how good I would be as a crane operator because I can see myself in about 15 years breaking a house or building or severely injuring someone because I’m not the greatest at coordination and I would be elevated high up and it would be hard to see what is under me and all of that. I would not want to be responsible for sinking a boat because of dropping it on the wrong part of the ship than what I was supposed to.

Other than that I think I have some good oppurtunities
